At the beginning of 2022, at the age of 40, I set a goal that I didn’t even dare to think about before: in 2022, 10km ran for 35 minutes!
Then this whole year, I basically gave up all other things, including all kinds of study and street fitness, and devoted all my time and energy to the only thing of running.
The reason why I set such a seemingly outrageous goal is because no one can run 10km for 35 minutes when I see those people who keep laughing at my slowness.
In other words, as long as I can do it, I can annihilate all these little people directly!
And I also found that these people who laugh at others’ slowness everywhere are just runners who have a little talent for running but don’t understand scientific training methods at all.
Therefore, I also look down on them from the bottom of my heart!
If I put enough effort into running, with my earnest efforts, I should be able to completely narrow the differences in talent, and it should be inevitable to wipe out these little people who only laugh at people with poor running talent to brush their sense of existence!
In contrast, my average pace was only 6:42/km, and the fastest speed of running 5km was about 25 minutes.
Then, after all kinds of training and attempts this year, the progress is as follows:
1）1km，3:50，2022.07.31
2)5km, 23:08 (average pace 4:37), May 31, 2022.
3)10km, 52:20 (average pace is 5:14), September 20, 2022.
4)400m, the fastest pace is 3:30/km.
5)200m, with the fastest pace of 3:00/km.
But the end result is a complete failure!
Although there is nothing wrong with the general direction and thinking,
The main problem is that,Your motor nerves are far worse than you think.
Specifically, all kinds of injuries continue.
I believe that countless failures in 2022 will certainly not be just a waste of effort.
On the contrary, the previous 99 failures just screened out the most likely successful path in the last time.
Therefore, it is very likely that my running performance will advance by leaps and bounds in 2023.
Run 20 minutes in 5km (average pace is 4:00)
If I hadn’t won the COVID-19 recently, I would have tried my best to score 20 points in 5km before the end of the year.
5km running in 17 minutes and 30 seconds(Average pace is 3:30)
There is something wrong with the previous idea. We should not directly challenge 10km, but fix 5km first, and then 10km will naturally come naturally.
This is a 100% achievable goal, and I am full of confidence in it.
5km run into 15 points(Average pace is 3:00)
This is a challenging goal, and there is no full confidence at present, because it may exceed its own talent limit.
However, I will do my best towards this goal and try my best to exert my greatest potential.
